re: Old dorms inside of Tiger Stadium

I lived there for 1 semester!

There is some sort of asbestos or hazardous material abatement requirement that would impede any effort to redevelop the space, according to reports I've read.

It's the year 2026. Anything can be decontaminated, remediated and made proper for useage.

That's another thing I've long wondered, what was stadium access? That poster said there was just a fence they were able to get around keeping them from the stadium.

Up through 2000, the stadium was widely opened and you could just walk in anytime. You didn’t have all the newer fancy rod iron gates. It was just cyclone fencing and lots were open. The field level fence was just a little cyclone fence as well.

Back in the earlier days before that, fields and facilities weren’t kept up like they are today and accessing it wasn’t that big of a deal to people.

Hell in late 90s, early 2000, I use to sneak in the games through the locker room as a friend of mine was a trainer. He would tell us be at the door at this time and he would open it. In, then right and right to the stairs up. Bring in our ice chest and all. 2001 on, CFB really took off to a lot bigger is a production than it was prior.
